Cost OF Fencing in England.

Professor Scott, in his recent book on
EARN and Fence estimates that for every
acre of incio5ed land in the United Kingdom
there is over 81 invested in fences; and that
the annual maintenance of these fences costs
something ike three shillings per acre. Tax
ing these figures in the aggregate, as applied
to the 5000, 0C0 acres of inclosed land in the
United Kingdom, he shows the total capital
sunk in fences to be nearly ESQ, O00,000
and the annual maintenance and re-
pair OF these fences to cost at least
$3.50, 600. There is no denying, he
thinks, that many existing fences might be
dispensed with to the great advantage of
agriculture, quite apart from the expense Of
maintaining them He also points out that
the extended introduction of a cheap and
durable system of wire fencing renders pos
sible still further economy in the matter Of
fences, referring more especially to barb
wire fences, in which fewer lines of wire
make an equally efficient fence, and that
with only one-half 10 one-fourth the number
of posts which it is considered necessary to
use in plain wire fencing or in post .or rail
fences.-London Times

Coming Metal for Heavy Guns.

read before the Naval institute at Annapolis,
Alfred II. Cowles viii argue that guns can
be made of this alloy that viii have much
higher tensile strength and ductiity than
the finest quality Of mild steel forgings; that
it would be impossible to burst gun cast
from this alloy with four times the powder

producing aluminium bronze and casting guns
therefrom would not require more than one
third as great an outlay as plants for the
construction of built up guns.
Mr Cowles also estimates that guns can be

How Burglars Have Their Tools Made

how burglars have lnelT FOOLS Made.
P J. Jennings, an east side engineer and
machinist, tells an interesting story about his
dealings with a burglar. He was sitting in
his Office one day few months ago when two
men entered with design they wanted made
of steel. He took the job and turned it out
according to order. The men came next day
and after chatting pleasantly about the boo
die aldermen and other matters of popular
interest in the city, paid their bill and went
away Several other designs were BROUGHT
him by the two men, and he got TO know them
quite we'll He did not learn their business
however, but it is such a common thing TO

that Mr.. Jennings never bothered his head
about it.

them for 5 O'Clock, but the men did not come.

The N'ganga OF the Negro.

A few words, now, on the fetch doctor or
medicine man, the N'ganga OF the negro, whit
Is also his priest, physician, and chief JUS
tlce. If any one in the village dies, the
negroes who cannot comprehend that anv
one should die natural death, believe that
he must have been killed by enchantment or
by the evil influence of some other person: in
short, that another person was the cause of
his death. 1t is N'ganga business to find out
who this person is. He consults with the
spirits by moonlight, and communicates the
result OF has interview to the people.
The accused person is then subjected to the
trial by casa. Casa is the bark of a large
tree, the erythrophteum guineense degu-
minoss- csesalpsneal, and contains very
strong poison. The delinquent is forced to
drink a solution of this bark which has been
prepared by the N'ganga If he voynits the
draught up Immediately he is innocent, but
II 1t remains in his stomach he must die. In
this case the negroes never wait for the Oh
Grafton OF the poison, but fall upon him with
sticks and stones or drive the life out of him
IN some still more savage way. The issue of
the trial by casa of course lies with the
Ngangs, and if the delinquent can paw
